Chapter 177 Crazy heavy tax
More and more people in Yuncheng County will make soap, which is no longer a technical job.
And because everyone is involved in researching the process, the creative soil of fantasy has already sown seeds, the process is becoming more and more mature, the cost of production is getting lower and lower, and the yield is increasing at a geometric rate.
This is Gao Fangping's real political achievement, because there are indeed hundreds of people who have changed from a landless and unemployed vagrant state to a rank of having a living due to this industry. The most intuitive thing is that many people are now engaged in the development of soda ash, lime and various vegetable oils. They cannot say that they have a good life, but they have a full stomach and live a better life than ordinary poor tenants.
This business was blank in the Song Dynasty, and because it was marked as royal manufacturing, it was a monopoly industry. So how much soap production capacity is currently insufficient.
The merchants gathered in Yuncheng to wait for purchasing soap to sell to various places were still very enthusiastic. Gao Fangping began to release goods at a price of four chunks of each piece of soap, but no matter how many, they would be sold out once they were released.
In other words, except for Lin Chong, a traditional man in the family, even Song Jiang was cheated by Jia Xiaohong.
Jia Xiaohong is a black-hearted beauty like Jiang Wen, with a very business vision. She saw this scene a long time ago and acquired the "labor insurance share" of the suckers in the internal team at a very cheap price.
Now is the time to release the goods. Although Jia used to be unable to share the money, he made a lot of money this time. After the nearly 1,000 yuan of soap she collected at a low price was released, she bought more than 2,000 yuan of profits. Finally, she had private money and came to save Gao Fangping with interest.
What is the concept of soap worth four cents of money? It is equivalent to cosmetics worth thousands of dollars a bottle in later generations, and it is a luxury product used to slaughter fat pigs.
As for how much is Gao Fangping’s production cost, you can definitely get nearly ten yuan of soap for a lifetime.
This is monopoly and regulated profit.
This is the only way for the time being. Even if the profit on Weibo is reduced to 100 yuan per yuan, the real hardship cannot be used, which on the contrary increases their living burden. Therefore, Gao Fangping simply set a crazy selling price and directly rejected the smaller tyrants and used it to make money from the upper class in the form of luxury goods.
At the same time, Gao Fangping used his left hand to attack his right hand, and with the reputation of Yuncheng County, he collected heavy taxes on the royal company "Yuncheng craftsmanship and field division affairs".
Hehe, Yun1 City's fiscal revenue has also been settled.
Gao Fangping is not a prime minister now, and he is indeed not able to convince the court to issue a "luxury tax", but since he has the right to do it, just keep his head shut. If he can't punish the doctor, Zhang Shangying still has to rely on me to make money to please the officials. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not be angry.
What's more, even if the heavy taxes were drawn by Yun1 City, the craftsman still had a lot of profits. As long as the official heard that he made a lot of money and no one rebelled, he would care about what the process was. That was Lao Zhang's political achievements. He did a good job. The next Minister of Revenue was Lao Zhang's, and he couldn't even escape.
Many people are also drunk about Gao Fangping's crazy profit making.
Song Jiang was the first guy who couldn't understand it. Jin Ge clasped his fists in the inner hall and said, "My husband, Song Jiang really can't understand it. When the princess took charge of this business, Song Jiang thought that even a piece of soap could not be sold. But now, more and more merchants are gathering in Yun 1 City, waiting to buy soap. The price of four guan can't get the goods. This is really incredible."
Gao Fangping laughed and said, "It's really out of date. If I tell you the two hundred quotas each, I will really not be sold. The local gentry feels that the level is not enough and cannot be different from the people, then it's better to use a hair? And for the people, they can't die without it. Why do you have to spend such a considerable amount of money? Pricing is also a science. The trend of my Song Dynasty took Tokyo as a benchmark. After I was paved by my preparatory work, Zhang Shangying's old fox, with the reputation of a royal craftsman, set off this luxury trend in Tokyo. The merchants were sharks. They smelled blood and gathered in Yun 1 City for a while.
Seeing that the price has been determined by the royal reputation, it is indeed a good price to cheat the rich, so they have basically determined the interests. Then this monopoly business will be another monopoly business after our dynasty, since the salt and iron wine and tea. Fatty, do you know who are playing iron wine and tea in our dynasty? That is not an ordinary businessman. Now, there is no law in the court for new things like soap. This is their opportunity. Everyone can participate in making money. Only in this way can they rely on their large-scale merchants to quickly promote my soap to the whole country, or even barbarian areas."
Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "I know that the military and husband are worried about the country and the people, and they are really a great man. But what Song Jiang couldn't understand is that in the end this is just another royal franchise. The large profits still belong to the emperor and cannot benefit the civilians in large quantities."
Gao Fangping said: "For the time being, it is justice to benefit the royal family. Why? Because the more I give the royal family, the less the emperor needs the Southeastern Response Bureau. The fewer institutions like the Southeastern Response Bureau, the more stable the country will be. This is called the law of conservation of energy. Energy will not disappear and will only be transferred. The emperor was born with these things. The difference is in the way of obtaining them. The one who cheated on the salary bureau is to win over the powerful and noble gentry and plunder the people and share with the emperor. However, I did the opposite and let the local gentry willingly get the money, and then I shared it with the emperor."
Song Jiang whispered with a dark look: "What my husband said seems to be right, but... you asked me to post a document to draw illogical heavy taxes on the craftsman's supervision branch. This... I am worried about making trouble. This is neither a state law can be followed, nor a suspect of offending the royal family."
"Damn it, there is no country law. If the law cannot be prohibited, you can do it. With me, a big head, you are afraid of being a fat man, I will collect taxes severely. I will cut half of the profits generated by the craftsman's prison and stay in Yun1 City. This money will be of great use in the future!" Gao Fangping waved his hand and roared.
A group of guards fainted on the ground. Now, yesterday's policy was to impose a three-layer tax on the craftsman's supervision branch, which has now become half.
After all the calculations, Zhang Shangying, the old fox, is a good chess player. It was a good chess piece to get him to judge the craftsman as a surveillance.
Otherwise, if Grandpa Zong is in charge of the craftsman, and Gao Fangping dares to cheat half of the profits in Yun1 City, and then he has to go to the craftsman as a craftsman to divide the profits in a private position, he will definitely be captured by the cruel official of the old Zong and hanged up and beaten up...
The Shangyuan Lantern Festival passed, and the imperial departments returned to normal order and began to deal with the squeezing documents in a tense manner.
In front of Zhang Shuye, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, squeezed a huge pile of documents, a rough outlook on the entire year from various prefectures and counties, and a simple report on the situation of the first lunar month.
Uncle Zhang casually looked through these same and ever-changing format documents, and put them aside without any interest when he read them casually.
Suddenly, Zhang Shuye asked a Ministry of Revenue Officer: "Have the documents from Longyou County, Jiangnan have arrived?"
"I'm back to my husband's words, I'm here." Yuanwailang found out the document of Wang Fu, who was demoted to Longyou County and handed it over.
After looking at it, Zhang Shuye slapped the table and stood up and said, "Damn Wang Fu, is he really not afraid of death or what? When he was in Jeju, I was extremely disliked by him. Now he actually fooled me as a stick?"
Yuanwailang knew that Lao Zhang was so angry that he quickly picked up Wang Fu's document and looked at it. However, he thought it was very good and said curiously: "My uncle, Wang Fu has more yield per mu in previous years. It is expected that he can produce 5,000 kilograms per mu this year. This is a good thing... Alas!"
I couldn't finish talking, but Lao Zhang slapped it like a gourd rolling on the ground, and rolled away.
Zhang Shuye said furiously: "A bunch of sticks, you are also a perfect stick. How did you get into the exam and become an official? Have you planted land in a farmhouse?"
Yuanwailang covered his face and shook his head weakly: "I haven't planted it before."
"You have never planted me, but I have planted me. The backyard of Kaifeng Prefecture is my test field. Perhaps I am also a stick. I have tried my best to calculate it. In the case of trying my best, I only have a yield of more than a thousand kilograms per mu!" Zhang Shuye said with a blue face: "During the Longyou period, Zong Ze's highest yield record in Longyou County was lower than that of me who planted me himself? If this continues, will all yield of tens of thousands of kilograms per mu be produced? One day, should I treat myself as a fool with the document of 100,000 kilograms per mu? Or should I report the emperor as a fool? The Ministry of Revenue forward is really unprotected. I let a scum like Wang Fu report 3,000 kilograms per mu every day, and submit it to the Ministry of Personnel as a report document. It is so easy for him to learn from Jeju. If this continues, will the state court still be saved!"
"Kebeizhi couldn't see any harm to the country. If he reported it, he would take out the food?" said Yuanwailang.
"Yes, of course it's good to the Ministry of Revenue and the Emperor. But do these grains fall from the sky? Do you think Wang Fu will pay for the Ministry of Revenue by himself? Do you think he will be ruthless to the people? Don't this come from the people! I don't know how big the holes in Jeju are, but I think that Gao Fangping, a cruel official, will do the right thing to send Gao Fangping, a cruel official to guard the waters and do it. Otherwise, those who can't survive in Jeju will sooner or later go to the mountain to pull the banner and rebel!" Zhang Shuye said coldly, "Think about it! Wang Fu and other scum were messed up by pork Ping! Just this point, Gao Fangping is the hero of my Ministry of Revenue!"
"My husband is wise!" Yuanwailang laughed.
Uncle Zhang looked at him with malicious intentions and thought: I am wise and you sister, you are all treated as a stick. You are still wise and wise if you use the yield per mu of 5,000 kilograms to fool you.
Speaking of Gao Fangping, Zhang Shuye sat down again on a whim and prepared the tea ceremony: "Put up Yonglejun's newspaper and review it for my parents."
Yuanwailang hurriedly went to find him and handed him to Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang just opened and looked at him. As he was drinking tea, he sprayed water onto the newspaper and was wet.
Zhang Shuye didn't want to talk about him because his handwriting was ugly. That kid had such virtue, but he was simply two extremes with Wang Fu. One of them was to be a swollen face and pretend to be fat. He fooled Jiangnan with a few tricks. As for Gao Fangping, he was a rogue and kept complaining that the situation in Yun1 City this year was extremely bad, and he found dozens of reasons to say that the food situation was even less optimistic, and there was a long way to go in the financial and taxation tasks.
In short, the central idea is that pork is poor and does not want to submit too much money and grain to the Ministry of Revenue, so it must be intercepted in Yun1 City.
Wang Fu's stick and Xiao Gao's rogue are really the two extremes of heaven and earth, yin and yang. (To be continued.)
